Yes. After this I have a Roe S/C, headers with cat delete, W/M injection, refinishing most of the car, Passport 9500ci install, and some sort of rear diffusers that showed up in my mail about 8 months ago.

Wow laundry list of mods. Diffuser blades? Who uses those things :). Post photos when you get those installed.

Your going to love the supercharger. Awesome mod.

Another thing I found out with the Stoptech BB system for non-abs cars is, because I road race I run 17s on the rear to help with the slip angle, it works great. When me and my buddy decided to co-drive in the Open Track Challenge (OTC 7 tracks in 7 days) we decided to take his 2001 GTS instead of my 2000 but figured I had the better wheels so we brought the 18"/17" combo. Big mistake, the 17" didn't clear the bleeder screw on an ABS car, we had to do a lot of scrambling. Just one of those things that can screw your day or week up.

Back brakes are done minus the parking brakes. The parking brake relocates the stock calipers. They don't look as good as the new Stoptech calipers so I will take them to work, clean them up and refinish them to match. After that I will power bleed them with a MiteyVac. Full brake flush and fill with new fluid.

Wrapped up the rear. Attached the parking brake assembly which is the old caliper switched from right to left and left to right. Cleaned up the old caliper and refinished it black. Pads were too thick and needed to be ground down. Wear a mask and do it outside if possible. Very dusty and it stinks. Everything else was straight forward. The Stoptech instructions were very helpful. The only fault would be the quality of images they use. They might be good in a pdf file but not when printed.

Just need to bleed. I'll pick up some brake fluid in the next day or two.

Does this upgrade produce better stopping power than the SRT Big Brake kit?
How are the piston/caliper sized compared to the stock GTS Pieces?

Finished up with the bleeding/flushing of the brakes and master cylinder. Cleaned out the clutch master cylinder as well. Glad I purchased the MiteyVac. Grabbed it from my Snap-On dealer. Simple to use and very effective.

Siphoned the old fluid out and then attached the vacuum end to the bleeders. Kept the master cylinder topped up. The kit cam with an auto fill but it didn't want to balance on the master cylinder so I just kept it topped up.

Was going good until I got to the front right caliper and found that it wasn't bleeding as if it had a blockage. Found the outer bleeder with some corrosion. Replaced it with an original bleeder and just pumped the brake pedal to clear whatever the blockage was. Bled fine after that.

Used about 1500ml total of DOT4 Mopar brake fluid.
